I saw this link to the Electronic Frontier Foundation on Neat New Stuff. The filesharing issue is one I have been watching with interest, as it does seem to me that there have been plenty of user-pays models around that would alleviate the copyright concerns: and this is one such example. Filesharing has already proven to be popular and successful; why ignore the potential this technology offers by trying to dissuade people from using it, instead of working to make it work better?

And as a Friday distraction, try looking at Spooky Librarians.com Bits of it currently seem to be offline for maintenance, but you’ll get the idea. Creepy in more ways than one! :)
